Washington D.C. – Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman indicated a potential shift in the Kingdom’s stance toward Israel, expressing a desire to move towards normalization while emphasizing the importance of a two-state solution for Palestinians. The Crown Prince also pledged to significantly increase Saudi investments in the United States to a staggering $1 trillion.
Speaking after a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday evening, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stated, “We want to be part of the Abraham Accords, but we also want to ensure that the path towards a two-state solution is clearly defined.”
He added that he had a “constructive discussion” with President Trump regarding the matter, affirming, “We will work to ensure that the conditions are right as soon as possible to achieve this goal.”
Regarding economic cooperation, the Crown Prince informed President Trump of plans to increase the previously pledged $600 billion in Saudi investments, initially promised during Trump’s visit to the Kingdom in May. “Today and tomorrow, we can announce that we will increase the $600 billion to nearly $1 trillion for investment,” the Crown Prince stated in the Oval Office.
On the defense front, President Trump reiterated his intention to sell F-35 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns raised by Israeli officials and warnings from some US officials about potential technology theft by China.
Experts suggest that Saudi Arabia will also seek access to advanced technology chips crucial for supporting its ambitions in the field of artificial intelligence. Furthermore, an agreement on a framework for civilian nuclear cooperation is expected to be signed.
